Bryson Moore, a junior right-hander for the Florida State University baseball team, threw a gem on Sunday, giving up just one hit and one walk while striking out five batters in six shutout innings. The Seminoles were able to pull out a 2-0 victory over The Citadel, completing a three-game series sweep. FSU is now 8-2 on the season, while The Citadel falls to 4-5.

Why it matters

This victory extends FSU's strong start to the season and showcases the team's pitching depth, with Moore delivering an outstanding performance to help the Seminoles complete the sweep. The win also highlights the team's ability to win close, low-scoring games, which will be important as they face tougher competition in the ACC.

The details

Moore faced just two over the minimum of 18 batters, with the Seminoles' offense providing just enough support. FSU scored in the second inning when Eli Putnam singled and came around to score on an RBI double from freshman John Stuetzer. The Seminoles added another run in the fifth when Chase Williams led off with a bunt single and later scored on a sacrifice fly from Hunter Carns. Despite having the bases loaded with no outs in the fifth, FSU was only able to score the one run, a common theme throughout the game as the team hit into multiple double plays and struggled to come up with the big hit.
